Hispanic Student College Institute

Montclair State University earned its Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) designation in March 2016 and, in doing so, became the largest four-year HSI designee in New Jersey. In celebration of Montclair State’s new status, and in keeping with our commitment to educating Hispanic students, the University established the Hispanic Student College Institute for high school students. Current sophomores and juniors in high school (Class of 2020 and Class of 2019) are encouraged to apply to the 2018 Hispanic Student College Institute.
